I love its subtle colours and as I don't usually work with this colour palette, it was a challenge and I had to dig deep in my stash to find suitable fabric and use what I had creatively. This is the result -
I used my then limited collection of shirtings and added a few fabrics that a Japanese friend had left me before returning home. I enjoyed working with these shades so much I began to collect Japanese woven fabrics and I have used them in quite a few quilts since. This is a better picture of the quilting -

I love your quilt! I prefer the colours of yours to the top one. It is not quite clear how green it is, as it looks quite green in the first picture, but I do like it. Well done:)
Sorry about the above removal it was a mistake - I am still learning.
What I wanted to say to Radka is that though it looks green in the picture it is more or a grey/green.
Now I understand about the woven Japanese fabrics you wanted! This is so beautiful.
Hi Mary, I have come back to this comment box by chance, otherwise I would not had seen your answer to my comment. There usually isn't enough time to go back over old comments, as there are constantly new post to have a look at:) Other people usually send an answer by email (address on my blog) or leave a comment on my blog if they don't want to email:)
Anyway, thank you for making clear the "green" issue:))
I love making little quilts and this one is just stunning
I have a small collection of japanese taupes that would be perfect for trying something like this
thanks for sharing this quilt with us
I love the simplicity of it.
